B. Beautiful Blog

 March has been a crazy month full ups and downs! But the good news is that Spring is here, even if the weather has yet to receive the memo.
So, I have put together a list of favorites that I found through out the month and what I love about them.

Favorite # 1
Philosophy Clear Days Ahead 30-day trial kit  & First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Eye Cream

After researching brands and looking into what products people are talking about I headed to Sephora. I stumbled across the Clear Days Ahead trial, which made sense to me. I could try the product out and see what I think.
The kit has a cleanser that I love! My face feels so fresh and clean after every use. The other treatment products work very well together to keep my fave from breaking out and healing current acne. After a few days I did notice my skin became very dry and flaky.....so I began to use heavy moisturizer on my face. I am going to stop using the other products for a few days to see if I can just use them when I have a breakout to battle. I will keep you posted on if this works.
The First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Eye Cream is a must! I love that I can't feel it after I put it in and I love the way it makes my eyes look. I will be looking into more products by First Aid Beauty.

Olay Fresh Effects Out of this Swirled (White Grapefruit and Green Tea & Honeysuckle and White Tea)... these smell AMAZING!!!
 Ok Ok other than the great smell, these cleansers are a must. They have small beads that exfoliate away dirt and dead skin cells. This is a gentle cleaner is good if you have skin that is sensitive to harsh scrubs. I use them as my everyday cleaners.

Favorite # 3
Bath Bombs (Any kind ... I love them all)
D. All of the above. I love any bath bombs you can find! These compressed shapes of fragrant goodness make every bath fun, relaxing, and unique.  Just drop in your scent of the day and enjoy!

E.L.F Kabuki Brush
This is a great face brush. I love that I can use it for my powder foundation and I feel like the brush is big enough to cover every part of my face. This brush is also REALLY soft and I love that more. It's like a babies bottom....on ...your ... face. You know what I mean.

Favorite #5
Wet N Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain Moisturizing Lip Colour (Red-Dy or Not)
I really like the price and staying power.  I would like more accurate colors though. On my skin the color was lighter than it looked. But I really love that I can put it on in the morning and have something to take off at night. 

I am in desperate need of a new skin care routine! Especially at my age (ripe old age of early 30's ...haha you won't get my age out of me that easily.)

So, I rushed to Sephora.... well went by after work. I asked the very helpful lady in skin care about a few brands I had seen in some of the other blogs and vlogs.  First off, may I say, the lady who helped me was amazing. There are very few poor experiences I have had at that Sephora.

Back on track, I have combination skin and I am prone to acne (thank you aunt flow). I am very picky when it comes to products, they must be filled with ingredients I can spell and have a bang on marketing department (im very visual). Well after a deep Q & A and several products later I managed to walk back to my car with the Philosophy Clear Days Ahead 30-Day Acne Trial Kit and First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Eye Cream. I am always skeptical about new products, but I was feeling adventurous that day.

I tried them out that night and I love the face cleaner (3 oz Oil-Free Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment Cleanser). You wet your face and rub the cleaner in for 30+ sec. After this step my face feels fresh and clean. I have been using these items for about a week now and the combo is a fast fav!

I am also a big fan of the First Aid Eye Cream. I love that I put it on and I can't feel it, yet I know it's working because each day my eyes are my best feature!

The Philosophy kit and First Aid Eye Cream are a great combo. The 30-day trial is a great way to try out the product and see if it works for you. And the eye cream may be a gateway product for me. I have my eye (wink wink) on several other products in each line.

If any of you have tried either of these products please leave me a comment about your experience and if you have any other great product suggestions!

Stay Beautiful!
